BAF 99-5482 de-fuelled after ground runs yesterday afternoon and left in GRE afterwards out of wind. According to ElliotL- CBGSpotter, 99-5482 carried out engine runs with BAF crew yesterday, she was re-fueled in afternoon ahead of inevitable flight testing or delivery. Positioned into GRE and apparently remains in it. Last update 12 hours ago says 99-5482 still remains in GRE ready for her delivery or flight testing.

They seem to have different propellers than the old ones we have, different engines too ?
 
The second Bangladesh Air Force Lockheed C-130J (99-5482, S3-AGF) returning to Cambridge from a short test flight on May 13, 2020 at 12:35 UTC. It was the aircraft's first flight since arrival of the delivery crew from Bangladesh a few days ago.

And it's coming home. :cheers: Finally after a long long wait, Bangladesh Air Force C-130J 99-5482/S3-AGF is ready and on her way to Bangladesh. Seen here departing Cambridge airport on route to Cairo. 99-5482 is an ex RAF machine and the second of five sold to Bangladesh in an agreement with the UK.

She was formally known as ZH884 but now sports full Bangladesh livery and regs. The first leg of the aircraft's flight to the new home started on May 18, 2020 at 11:00 UTC after a three-hour delay, during which heat haze at the airfield has built up.
